Debate the greats, who is the best rapper?

[nathanjizzle]

From a list of 10 imma give u u pick the best one and so on

jay-z
game
pac
biggie
pitbull
common
nas
kendrick lamar
50 cents
ll cool j
eminem

scale of 1 to 10 relative to a goat scale
jayz 7-10 (he was very raw in his hayday.)
pac 8-10 (not as raw but very iconic with his rap)
nas 7.5 (he would get an 8 but he had little longevity)
biggie 8 (not as much an icon, lyricially and flow wise was one f the best if not the best, obviously didnt have longevity but if he did i would have had him at a 9 peak.)
em 8.5 (very raw, very iconic, has longevity)

so at this point the list is
1. em
2a. pac
2b. biggie
3. nas
4. jay z

[ThePhantomCreep]

Rakim

[L.Kizzle]

Either Chi Ali, Grand Puba, Kool G Rap or Chubb Rock.

[Long Duck Dong]

How you gonna put LL Cool J on there but leave off Cube and Ice T?

shoutout to Kool G Rap. by far the most underrated rapper in the game

One of the absolute GOATS

I wouldn't even put any of the OP's suggestions in my top 10

I'd put the likes of Kool G Rap, Ras Kass, El-P, Scarface etc

[That_Admiral]

Nasty Nas

then you have Biggie, Slim Shady, Rakim and the rest

[CeltsGarlic]

lol at Common being in OP

hes definitely not the GOAT

[NumberSix]

Vanilla Ice
MC Hammer
Coolio
Kris Kross
Tone Loc
